The Rev. Al Sharpton did not particularly care for the (your adjective here) comments about late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner by Rush Limbaugh, which I blogged here earlier in the day:
"The statements made by Rush Limbaugh about George Steinbrenner were repugnant and offensive whether they were intended to be facetious or tongue and cheek. The fact that he could make these comments less than 24-hours after Mr. Steinbrenner's death makes it even more offensive. For the last 20-years I have known George Steinbrenner and we have quarrelled over diversity and community programs but I always found him fair, direct, and genuinely prone to do what he felt was right. He generated a lot of money for a lot of players as well as for baseball as a whole and should not be disparaged in any matter. In later years, in a twist of irony, his granddaughter and my daughter became close, which only brought me closer to knowing him and we developed a mutual respect. Mr. Limbaugh and his broadcasters owe his family an apology that the first day of their mourning to have to be subjected to this type of rhetoric. To think that just a year ago Mr. Limbaugh sought to be an owner of an NFL team and has now said this about a legendary baseball team owner. This says more about Mr. Limbaugh than it does Mr. Steinbrenner."

Well Sharpton and Jackson are millionaires, just don’t tell those folks they like to stir up, who live in squalor and drug infested public housing that is delapidated while Sharpton and Jackson live in mansions with maids and limo drivers and assistants. Someone has to shine the light of day on these latter day snake oil men. And neither one will speak in favor of rescuing kids from horrible schools and allowing them to use vouchers to go to private schools where they stand a chance of finding out what reprobates Sharpton and Jackson really are. They are the Plantation gate keepers.

Rush has a larger audience than any liberal show or network in America. But that’s not good enough for Al, he has to bring more attention to Rush, and the Death Tax dilemma. Way to go Al!
A few years ago Brett Favre put himself between Donald Driver and Greg Jennings. Called themselves an Oreo Cookie.
So to the left...
The whites of the Right/Tea Party are all “Crackers”
and
The blacks of the Right/Tea Party are all “Oreo Cookie”
I say Right/Tea Party members of all colors are truly the “Nabisco” Nation....
After all what a Tea Party without briskets and cookie?
Remember... everything's better on a Ritz!
